"Pump It Up" Indeed

John Owen Alderman | Minneapolis, MN United States | 10/17/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Pop this fine punky anthology into your car's CD player the next time you need an adrenaline surge during a late-night drive. You'll make it to Duluth and beyond just fine. Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life," the B-52's "Private Idaho," and the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird" are alone worth the price of admission. I can't hear Billy Idol sing "Dancing With Myself" without wishing it was 1984 and I was on my way downtown to dance the night away with a purple-haired cutie. There are a couple of songs I wouldn't have picked. That's small potatoes.



I'm surprised there aren't more reviews and that (as of this writing) one could procure a used copy for $1.50."
